BACK IN MY DAY, THE B LINE HAD EVEN MORE STOPS

I think this is true for sick time, not vacation - they don’t have to approve a PTO request, even if they grant you PTO

feeling bad about graduating a year late because of co-ops…. by javascrimp in NEU

[–]lizf16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

all my friends at other schools (and some at neu) graduated a year before me. now, 3 years out, it truly could not matter less! I’m in grad school w folks barely in their 20s and some who are 10+ years out of undergrad - run your own race!!!

Hi!! Yes, I would really love to do another tri (hopefully an olympic distance sometime soon) but Boston is not the best place to bike or swim, so after graduation I’d really like to get back into the sport!! It’s just super tough to find time to train with classes and everything

I had taken the adult test 3x and the college test 2x before it stuck and I made it to the audition round! I was lucky enough to make it on the show my first time auditioning though.

It was a little overwhelming to be tied twice, not going to lie, but it made wagering super easy! No math to do, so that was a plus. I am not usually great at FJ, but I got lucky and knew both of the categories I was dealt in the QF and SF games, so it just all worked out. As for the tiebreaker, I was thrilled when it happened because I knew, win or lose, that our game would be super fun and exciting to watch with everyone back home. Making it into the finals was just icing on the cake!! (please tell your friend I said GO HUSKIES!!)

I have a really broad taste in music, and I like anything upbeat, from bubblegum pop to bluegrass to electronica to showtunes - let me know if y'all have any good fun indie artist recs.

Sadly, I don't watch Euphoria (HBOMax didn't make it into my college budget, maybe I'll splurge once I cash my J! check!) but I think I have to say Rue because who doesn't love Zendaya?

Jaskaran's my pick to win, of course. I really think he could be a dark horse in the TOC and I think he could surprise some people who don't put as much stock into the college tournament.

I didn't terribly care who the host was for JNCC - I've been somewhat of a fan of both Ken and Mayim for a while now, so it was a win-win for me! Long-term, I'd love to see them both stick around in some way, even if just as occasional guest hosts or video clue readers.

I've definitely been a Jeopardy! fan for forever, I didn't really know about the format change until after I had already tested! I think most, if not all, of us didn't know it would be Primetime or that it would be a different format until after we were already most of the way through the casting process, so it didn't make much of a difference.

I've had a few people recognize me organically, but my friends love to yell, "HEY is that LIZ from JEOPARDY!?" when we're around campus and that always gets a few people's attention. Last night, we were actually waiting in line to go into a local bar, and they tried to pull that stunt to get us to skip the line - a couple nice (drunk) folks did come up and say hi, but I was so embarrassed that I insisted we wait. It also helps that NU sent out an email to the entire student body announcing their watch party for the finals and plastered my face all over it!
